What do you think of these crazy looking things? Nice sound clip on the home page.

Looks like something from the Flintstones.

I've seen them before but haven't heard any clips until now.
I must say that kind of tone and playing on the website really floats my boat although I'm sure others will disagree :P

Actually my missus just said she could agree to having one in the living room, I doubt she'd say the same about a Soldano.

AGGGH! My eyes!! :lol:

I've seen them before as well, not quite my look... which is lucky, cos I think my missus would have a fit if I suggested something looking like that in our living room :lol:

They look like a school CDT project, but the clips do sound great....

Bit too much of a 'we still live in the 70s' vibe for me. I'd sooner drop the few k on a mesa and build a fancy cabinet around the amp. If they had used pretty pieces of wood (spalted maple, flamed stained maple or so), it would have been a lot better. I also never trust website audio clips, since the recording conditions can make such a difference to sound.
But a matter of taste I guess.
